Back in 2008, the adidas Adistar Control 5 was unveiled as a top-notch running sneaker, defined by its sporty mesh upper, metallic hits and innovative cushioning underfoot. In today’s renaissance of early 2000s running sneakers, it’s only right that adidas Originals have done a deep dive into the archives to bring it back. Detailed with the all-important 3-Stripes on each side, this bringback pair is a true homage to the OG. This retro runner with clear Y2K influences features a porous mesh upper with 'Metallic Silver' and 'Grey One' synthetic overlays for technical stability. Underfoot, Adiprene cushioning is supported by the brand's flagship 3D Torsion system. The shoe is designed for maximum control and stability during training, combining innovative technologies with a modern silver metallic finish. The upper, made of lightweight, breathable materials, ensures optimal ventilation and a snug fit, while specialized reinforcements provide support and protection. The sole features an advanced cushioning system that absorbs shock and increases comfort.
